Scotland’s Place in the World - Amendment
- Submitted by: Neil Bibby, West Scotland, Scottish Labour.
- Date lodged: Monday, 04 March 2024
- Motion reference: S6M-12372.2
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 05 March 2024
As an amendment to motion S6M-12372 in the name of Angus Robertson (Scotland’s Place in the World), leave out from "should" to end and insert "benefits from the defence, diplomatic and economic connections that it shares with the rest of the UK; highlights the massive amount of capacity building that would be required of an independent Scotland in areas such as defence and procurement, intelligence and cyber security, and diplomatic presence and expertise just to replicate the benefits that Scotland currently enjoys as part of the UK; encourages the Scottish and UK governments to work more closely together to ensure that Brand Scotland’s unique contributions and innovations are better sold across the world, and understands that, in an increasingly turbulent geopolitical situation, the interests and security of Scotland are significantly better served under the umbrella of its existing membership of NATO, as part of the UK, than by severing those connections and seeking to build them from scratch."
